HTMLFormElement.prototype.toJSONString

Does this sound useful?

Grab the state of the form, as if it were going to be submitted and
return the value as a JSON string where keys are form element names.

(checkbox (groups) and select-multiple would map to an array).

HTML element objects are host-defined objects that do not have a public
constructor except in the Gecko DOM.

The following works fine with me with Opera 9:

HTMLFormElement.prototype.aMethod = function () { alert(this); };
var form = document.createElement('form');
form.aMethod();

Safari 3 beta also has no problems with that.

Can you test with the latest Konqueror release?

My idea is to propose it to Mozilla on the toJSONString bugzilla bug
(mozilla) to see if they accept the idea.

I also think that something like aForm.getData() might be useful to
get the serialized representation of the form. (It would look just
like what you see in a GET query string or a POST body.)

I thought I'd run it by here first before filing a bug for Mozilla
(and WebKit).
